That does not matter.  If you have a US Passport, then by virtue of having that passport, you are a citizen of the United States.  The passport serves as proof of that citizenship.

 

This is codified in 22 U.S. Code § 2705, though it is a bit more limiting than the DoS clause in that it does not contain the continuance of that proof if the passport has expired.  I did not go any further in researching it, but you can see the references here as well:  https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/22/2705

 

TL;DR - if you have a valid US passport, you do not need any other documents to prove citizenship.

Honestly, you could be 100% correct and probably are. I'm just sharing what happened to me personally and they told me they weren't able to give me my scholarship for this exact reason so I was desperate to get my certificate.

You missed a chance to sue the school big time. Though I'm not a fun of unnecessary law suits but sometimes lawsuits are what people understand before they take the correct action.
